dark humor

The cynical Coen brothers satirized all the characters in the film. Needless to say, the other characters are stupid. The female detective is also an idiot in the eyes of the Coen brothers. Because of being so clever and so capable, after handling a major case, the ultimate destination of a police detective is nothing more than nagging in the arms of an idiot husband. Because of cultural differences, we Chinese people will mistakenly believe that the author is praising the female police detective as the “two leaders inside and outside” for “getting out of the hall and into the kitchen”. In fact, the author is satirizing the female detective. If you want to show how stupid a woman is, you can’t directly describe her as stupid. You have to describe her as smart, and then make her willingly commit herself to a stupid man. She's stupid.

This movie is so humorous, I couldn't laugh many times.
